we have been some painting fools since we moved into our new house 3 weeks ago. Even after samples, we somehow ended up buying $70 worth of paint for our master bedroom that we hate after I spent 2.5 hours painting today ;/
so looking for inspiration - what color is your bedroom, love pics if you have

Don't think I have a picture, but it is light green. I wanted it to be peaceful and relaxing.

Oh no! I just saw on TV that Valspar will replace paint if you don't like it.
We have tan with white trim, but accent everything with blues/greens/beachy theme to make it feel laid back and relaxing. It's a work in progress since I started moving pictures around last week.

We have a dark red accent wall behind the bed that Husband had done when he bought the house before we met. The other walls are cream colored. Not my first choice but Husband was so proud of it so it stayed. Our linens are white with red embroidery from Pottery Barn.

It's in other spaces in my home, but I wish it was in my room: Revere Pewter. What type of color are you leaning towards?

Ours is a dark sort of slate blue. With white trim and (mostly) white linens I really love it.

Our walls are Behr's Cumulus, which is a nice light blue, but I'm thinking about repInting in SW Mountain Stream, which is a deeper, richer blue.

Our master is Benjamin Moore's Ocean Air, it's a very light green. White trim and dark wood floors.

Slightly off white, our whole apartment is the same color. If it were up to me it would all be bright white, but when we moved in it had just been completely renovated and looks great.

@Boogs: we painted the main spaces revere pewter, we LOVE it!! the original plan was a light gray bedroom with dark gray accent wall, but the light walls looked the same as the as the revere pewter, so now we are thinking maybe taupe or mocha to mix things up
@lamariniere: DH kept suggesting a shade of white paint which I'm opposed to, but it looks great in your room!

Our room is purple. I went crazy with paint in my house. The walls are like a lavender the trim a darker purple and the ceiling is a very very light lilac. If looks white until I tell you.

Our bedroom is dark gray with a glazed accent wall and then our master bath is done in just the glaze (which is a metallic gray).

@runnerd: I want to paint my room a light grey also! DH is tired of painting so he said no way lol.

@lamariniere: your room is lovely though!!
Ours is a yucky cream. I don't like it. I'd rather it be white!

Our feature wall is black with gold stecilling and the other three walls are white. It looks like this.

Benjamin Moore's Woodlawn Blue. I would post a pic, but I'd have to make up my bed.
@plantains: That's feature wall is cool.

Ours is a super-greyed-out purple, kind of medium-dark. I can't remember the color name but we love it (although DH thinks it a little purple) and I keep white linens on the bed to keep it crisp and light. Love it!

@lamariniere: My first thought was "that reminds me of Paris . . . " only you're in Austria! It's lovely no matter where it is.

@MsLipGloss: thanks. I love the apartments here. Ours was built in the 1890s!

It's a Valspar grayish taupe. I wasn't fond of the sample but DH (who's the better paint picker!) chose it. And he's right, it's very soothing.

We have a dark blue accent wall behind the bed. The other walls are a cream color.
(Turn your head upside to view since I can't seem to rotate it, LOL!)

@LindsayInNY: Looks great! I was voting for a royal blue accent wall when the gray didnt work out, but DH wasn't on board.

Gray with an orange accent wall. You can kind of see it in the background of my 32 week picture. I'm not in love with it, I wouldn't mind switching it out with different colors eventually.

Our bedroom is a light aqua blue (more blue than green) and even though I didn't like it when we moved in, I love it now! Our living room walls are a beige/taupe and we get so many compliments on it. We didn't choose it! Our place is a rental and our landlords apparently have great taste in colors.

We moved in to this color. Going to repaint soon! Nooo idea what color though

We just repainted ours after hating it for a year! It's a medium gray color! I love it!

Mine is Ben Moore Galveston grey and I love it! It's a nice warm grey. I painted it a (what I thought was) grey blue and I was more like baby blue. It took me 8 hours to paint due to 14 foot ceilings, but after two years I couldn't take it and re painted. So glad I did!

Brown and white. We almost changed it to grey this week but I'm too cheap and don't want the hassle.
@PurplePumps: that's the story with my bathroom...but we never repainted it...I'm hitting the 3 year mark and itching to repaint.

@LindsayInNY: I'm usually scared of color, but I love that blue!

Light yellow. I wanted something happy and cheery but not too bright and crazy.

@LemonLong: love!! i'm scared to decorate with orange and red, cause it's not in the color family i'm normally drawn too, but that looks great!!
